Fatso GMO F1 Auto is a feminised hybrid strain that results from crossing two auto strains, Fatso Auto and Cotton Candy Auto. This Cali-derived, somewhat sativa-leaning, easy to grow, strain offers high yields, very high THC content and its sweet, candy and fuel palate.

Fatso GMO F1 Auto thrives indoors and outdoors. It has better than average mould resistance but still benefits fromadequate ventilation, more so where humidity is quite high. Resistance to pests and plant pathogens is excellent. Plants stay quite short at around 100cm or less indoors, but they should grow a little taller, reaching a height of 130cm, outdoors planted in the ground. The plants’ life-cycle is completed in a maximum of 75 days from seed to harvest and, though yields are quoted as being average, this is still quite impressive for an auto. The mix of high resin production and high terpene levels make Fatso GMO F1 Auto a great strain from which to make cannabis extracts.

The terpene profile is sweet and dank – savoury scents of Skunk with pine and floral notes. The taste is sweet candy with hints of fuel. THC production is very high, reaching 26% while CBD is low. The effect is uplifting and well-balanced.

What are F1 Cannabis Strains?

F1 cannabis seeds or plants are the first generation offspring of two parent plants. F1 hybrid seeds or strains are the first generation
offspring of two pure, distinct strains. Note that using two pure lines, the result of intensive inbreeding, is drastically different to simple cross-breeding.

F1 plants have been used for decades throughout the agricultural industry because they offer several advantages; hybrid vigour allows plants to grow bigger more quickly. Plants are more uniform, stable and offer greater resistance to plant pests and diseases. Yields are much higher too, an important consideration.

However, it should be noted that it is not recommended to allow F1 plants to breed for seed crops as the resulting F2 plants will be much less uniform, being less stable and having greater genetic variability. New F1 seeds will need to be purchased or a lengthy and complex F1 breeding project carried out to produce more seedstock.
